The fields are at their most vibrant in spring.

People working in the fields also look very energetic.

Colorful flowers are blooming.

Just looking at it makes people feel refreshed and relaxed.

Yun Xi came to the manor for nothing, she just came here for vacation.

This time Mu Sheng was with her, so the task of taking care of the baby was left to him. Yun Xi spent most of her time drinking tea, taking walks, and setting up an easel to sketch.

Sometimes when Lezai gets tired of playing, he comes over and draws with her.

He pointed at the small figure in the painting and said, "This is Zi Zi."

"Correct."

"This is Daddy, this is Mommy."

"Yes."

"But mother didn't play with me just now."

Yun Xi smiled and said, "When I finish this painting, I will play with you. Your father and I will hold your hands, just like in the painting, okay?"

"Ok."

Yun Xi looked at him and smiled, "When your brother was little, he was a little older than you are now. When mom was painting, he would also watch from the side. Just like you are now."

“Draw your brother in it, too.”

"Okay, I'll include my brother in the next painting."

She planned to paint several pictures, first the family of three, then the family of four, then her and Yun Dad, father and daughter, and then the three generations of the Yun family...

When no one was around, Mu Sheng said to her, "How about drawing a picture of the two of us?"

Yun Xi: "...Okay."

She really hadn't expected this combination.

She even imagined a pure landscape painting.

Mu Sheng discussed with Yun Xi that they would bring Master Liu back with them this time, as Lezi was three years old and it was time for him to start his education.

Yun Xi: "...Okay."

Mu Sheng greeted Father Yun first, and then went to talk to Master Liu.

Master Liu was stunned. He had been playing around on the farm and had completely forgotten that the Mu family hired him to teach their child. He only came to the farm temporarily to serve as an aide to Lord Yun because the child was too young.

Oh! It’s time to go back to the city!

He really couldn't bear to part with Lord Yun.

The two of them had a great time playing together.

Master Liu said to Father Yun, "When the young master goes to the academy and doesn't need me anymore, I will stop being your teacher and work with you. Is that ok?"

Father Yun smiled and nodded, "You are most welcome. Lele is the young master of Yimin Marquis Mansion. Isn't it just right for you to follow him?"

Master Liu thought about it and agreed.

In the next few days, Master Liu said goodbye to everyone on the farm. Even the cows in the cowshed, the dogs frolicking on the farm, and the cat slave who guarded the granary were his good friends, and he went to greet them one by one.

Lezai thought he was very interesting, so he followed him all the time. When he talked to his animal friends, Lezai kept asking, "Do they understand?"

Master Liu: "...animals also have emotions."

"So they can't bear to part with you? I don't see that."

Master Liu: "...That's because you don't understand the expressions of animals."

"What does Niu Niu's expression mean now?"

"It means that I can't bear to leave you."

"What about this?"

"I still can't bear to part with what I mean."

“But these two expressions are different!”

Master Liu: "..."

He needs to prepare a thicker ruler.

When Lezi saw his fake smile, he ran away, shouting, "Mom, Dad, Master Liu is going to beat me up!"

Master Liu: "..."

He was just thinking about it and hadn't done it yet!

Mu Sheng sent someone back to the city on horseback to clean up the courtyard that he had arranged for Master Liu. This time he was going to stay there for a long time.

Until Lezai officially entered the academy at the age of six or seven, Master Liu would be his main teacher.

Yun Xi and his friends stayed at the manor for ten days, then returned with Master Liu.

Lezai started his school life from then on.

Yun Xi was worried at first and spied on the screen through the system for a few days.

Lezai is not a good kid like Xie An and Mu Jinyan. He is a lively and active kid who asks a lot of questions, often asking some strange questions. But fortunately, Master Liu is not a rigid teacher. He is a teacher who teaches through fun. He can sit in the room and teach Lezai to read, recognize characters, and practice calligraphy, or he can take him out to explore.

Since Master Liu came back, Lezai has been going out a lot more often. The two of them often go to Yunxi's manor in the suburbs to explore nature and study various natural phenomena. Lezai can learn a lot and have fun following him.

Yun Xi watched for a few days and no longer had anything to worry about. Moreover, Le Zi was accompanied by a maid to protect him.

Four years passed in the blink of an eye.

Lezai has grown into a 7-year-old boy.

Fu Ronghua already has two children, a three-year-old son Mu Cheng, and a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter Mu Yao. There is also another one in the belly, and their names have already been chosen: the boy will be named Mu Jue and the girl will be named Mu Shan. Like Mu Heng, both have the character "王" on the radical.

When she was pregnant with Mu Cheng, Le Zi told Yun Xi that he wanted a brother or sister. Yun Xi told him, "The baby born by auntie will also be your brother or sister."

She also asked Mu Sheng: "Do you want another one?"

Mu Sheng said, "Let it be. What about you? Do you want another one?"

He knew in his heart that Yun Xi didn't want to have another child.

Mu Sheng always felt that whether Yun Xi got pregnant or had a child was all under her control. The reason why she hadn't gotten pregnant in all these years was not because she couldn't, but because she didn't want to.

Everyone said that having more children meant more blessings, but he himself didn't really feel that way, so it didn't matter whether he had children or not. He respected Yun Xi's opinion.

Yun Xi: "...I don't want to have any more children. Ah Yan will inherit the Mu family's title, and Le Zai can inherit my father's. If I have another child, where can I get him a title? It's too unfair to give birth to a child but not treat them equally."

Mu Sheng: “…”

He really didn't expect the reason to be this. He thought Yun Xi was afraid of having a baby.

"If you think this way, then no one is treated equally. Doesn't every family have only one title? I can inherit the title of Duke Dingguo, but Mu Xuan can't. Isn't that unfair?"

"The situation between you two is not universal. Before you had a title, you had already worked hard for the Mu family for many years and made sacrifices. So this title itself has your contribution, and it is most appropriate and reasonable for you to inherit it. I dare say that when His Majesty first said that he wanted to confer a title on the Mu family, he might have said that he would directly confer you the title of Duke of Dingguo. Is that right?"

Mu Sheng nodded: "Xixi is very smart, His Majesty did say so. Even if Mu Xuan and I are not universally significant, other families also have only one child who can inherit."

"This is unfair. Some children lose their right to inherit as soon as they are born. Why? If it were me, I would be unhappy. I can give it up, but you can't give it to me."

Mu Sheng: “…”

I didn’t expect that my usually lazy daughter-in-law would have such a competitive spirit!

He followed Yun Xi's thoughts and said, "Don't be angry. It's unfair for Lele to not be able to inherit the Mu family's title. I will give him all my private property when the time comes."

Yun Xi snorted, "Am I such a stingy person?"

"No, of course not! Madam is very generous!"

Lezai has no biological brothers or sisters, so the children of his second uncle's family are almost like his own children to him. He and Mu Jinyan both act like brothers, and they get along very well with the two children of Mu Xuan's family.

As long as Le Zai is not in class, Mu Cheng and Mu Yao like to stick to him and play with him.
